LCRI’s WEST project is to launch Fundamentals of Hydrogen and Fuel Cells, the first of their Hydrogen courses, in July. This course, which will be delivered completely online, has been designed by the Hydrogen team from the University of South Wales, and is aimed at individuals working or interested in expanding their knowledge of this area of research.

Fundamentals of Hydrogen and Fuel Cells is a 1 credit CPD module, accredited to level 7 of the Credit and Qualifications Framework for Wales. The course is fully funded for people living or working within Welsh Convergence areas.

The course will provide participants with a state-of-the-art overview of the role of hydrogen and fuel cells in current and future energy systems. It will cover the characteristics of hydrogen and fuel cells, as well as discussing the drivers for change in energy systems.

Stephen Carr from the LCRI Hydrogen team said:”The course will allow participants to gain knowledge and insight into both the current state of the hydrogen and fuel cell industry, and its future potential. The hydrogen and fuel cell industry is growing at a rapid rate, and this course is a fantastic opportunity for people working in this field to improve their knowledge and skill set. “
